Excerpt from The Coming Democracy
It is well known what a change is often made in the management of an estate when another takes possession, even though the new master may be of the same class, even of the same blood, as the old one, with similar tastes and traditions, a similar mind and education. But the change is certain to be much greater when the inheritance falls to a man of quite another class; born of a different character, bred amidst different surroundings, and taught all his life, both by words and still more by circumstances, to encourage different aspirations and follow different ideals.
Now the estate, with all its various possessions and influences, here and throughout the world, which is attached to the government of this country, is about to pass into other hands. The middle class, which seized the possession some half century ago, has made, whether from generous surrender or anticipatory compulsion matters not, such changes in the tenure as must lead eventually to the advent of another master. The first reform bills, including in that term a group of kindred measures, turned out the Aristocracy, and the last will bring in the Democracy.
